This guide walks you through connecting your JD Edwards EnterpriseOne account through Makini Link.
Set aside about 10 minutes. You'll need the address of your AIS Server and a JD Edwards user for Makini. Your JD Edwards administrator can give you both.
Makini connects through your AIS Server. The Application Interface Services (AIS) Server is the part of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne that serves its REST API. If you don't have one yet, your JD Edwards administrator will need to set it up first.Username and password sign-in must be allowed on the AIS Server. Makini signs in with a username and password. Oracle requires that sign-in type to be enabled in the AIS Server's security settings in Server Manager. Your administrator can confirm it.Use a user made just for this connection. Makini signs in as this user, so it sees exactly what this user is allowed to see: JD Edwards applies the user's row and column security from Security Workbench. Anything Makini changes is recorded under this user too. A personal login mixes your own activity with the connection's, and the connection stops working when that person leaves.Makini uses the user's default environment and role. The form doesn't ask for them, so make sure the user's defaults point at the environment you want to connect, usually production.Most AIS Servers sit on your own network. If yours can't be reached from the internet, you'll turn on Connect to on-prem system via VPN/Firewall on the same form in Step 2. Have your network details ready, or your network team nearby.
Create a JD Edwards user for Makini, with a strong password, and give it access to the data you want to bring across.
2.
Give you the address of the AIS Server. This is the AIS Server's own address and port, which is not the same as the address you use for the JD Edwards web client. For example: https://ais.example.com:7077.
Keep the username and password somewhere safe for a moment. A password manager is best.
AIS Server URL: the AIS Server's address from Step 1, for example https://ais.example.com:7077. Enter just the server address and port. Don't add /jderest or anything after it.
Username: the JD Edwards user from Step 1
Password: that user's password
2.
If your AIS Server isn't reachable from the internet, turn on Connect to on-prem system via VPN/Firewall and fill in your network details.
3.
Click Connect.
Once connected, your administrator will see Makini's sessions in the AIS session list in Server Manager under the device name makini-sync.
